The goal of the production is to present a multimedia portrait of Boulez, as well as composers who have influenced him, such as Debussy, Schoenberg, and Stravinsky.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPierre Boulez and Frank Gehry have been close friends for many decades, so I am especially delighted that Frank can be an important part of celebrating Pierre this fall,\u201d said CSO President Deborah F. Rutter. \u201cFrank\u2019s level of innovation in the field of design is equaled only by Pierre\u2019s innovation in music, making this collaboration such a natural one. Frank\u2019s work is widely acclaimed, and of course, the Jay Pritzker Pavilion and BP Bridge that he designed\u2014and which are right across the street from Symphony Center in Chicago\u2014are beloved by Chicagoans and visitors alike. We look forward with great anticipation to seeing Frank\u2019s design on our own concert stage, and to witnessing how it will inspire our musicians and our audiences.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>CSO Music Director Riccardo Muti adds, \u201cWhen I think of Pierre Boulez, I immediately think of him as a man of great culture\u2026 To hear in his voice how he thought about each work as he created it, and also after he had time to reflect, is to understand how music is created and then re-created with every performance.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Gehry and Boulez have enjoyed a close friendship over many decades. They originally met in Los Angeles while Boulez was working with the Los Angeles Philharmonic in the 1980s and 1990s.
